Our Approach
At Longdogs Consulting, we’re passionate about helping people and businesses solve problems and overcome barriers with confidence. We take the time to understand your goals, challenges, and ideas, then work alongside you to find practical, creative solutions that genuinely make a difference.
We’re not your standard consulting firm!
We’re a family business
We’ve built this on 30+ years of experience and genuine expertise. We’re not chasing every trend we focus on what actually works.
We’re small but comprehensive
Because we’re selective about partnerships, you don’t get a junior consultant learning on your dime. You get experienced people who know what they’re doing, supported by specialists when you need them.
We combine strategy with reality
Our consultants come from a variety of backgrounds and industries but all share the same desire to help people and businesses. For example; Andrew’s spent three decades working with leadership teams on the messy human side of change. Alister brings over 10 years experience in technology enabled change and SME advisory, Spencer has had successful career in some of the largest finance and investment firms and startups and is an IFA and Daryl is a town planner with 10 years experience in local authority teams working across all application types including historic buildings and green/grey belt development. We don’t just hand you a beautiful strategy doc or half baked planning statement, we help you actually execute it.
We speak your language
No consultant jargon. No waffle. Just clear, practical advice rooted in real experience.
The Longdogs client journey
From first enquiry through to delivery and beyond, every engagement is shaped around you. No fixed packages, no one-size-fits-all process, just the right approach for your situation.
1
Enquiry
It starts with a conversation. You get in touch, tell us what's on your mind, and we listen. No forms to fill in, no sales pitch, just an honest chat about where you are and what you're trying to achieve.
2
Discovery
Before we suggest anything, we take the time to properly understand your situation. What's working, what isn't, and what success actually looks like for you. This is where the bespoke part begins.
3
Team allocation
Every client is different, so every team is too. We bring together the right mix of specialists from across business consultancy, finance, planning and marketing, drawing on trusted partner firms and associates so you get exactly the expertise you need, and nothing you don't.
4
Delivery
We get to work, side by side with you, not from behind a desk. That means staying close to the detail, adapting as things change, and focusing on making things happen rather than just producing reports.
5
Review and results
We track real outcomes, not just activity. Regular check-ins keep everyone aligned and make sure the work is genuinely moving you forward, not just ticking boxes.
